Australia’s first-ever National Battery Strategy aims to make the country a “globally competitive producer” of batteries and battery materials by 2035.
The strategy was published by the Commonwealth government last week (23 May) and includes over half a billion Australian dollars in funding to promote battery manufacturing opportunities along with just over AU$20 million (US$13.33 million) for R&D and workforce training.
